TV Theme Songs

As I sit here humming the bassline to "Sanford and Son," I realize that they just don't make TV theme songs like they used to. Most theme songs these days are pop songs that they plug in as the theme, often songs we already know. While I love CSI's choice of Who songs, there is something about an original song or fairly unknown song being used for a show that then becomes ingrained in your psyche.

I can't think of too many memorable songs of late ("Malcolm in the Middle" does it well but I still don't rank it too high).

Here is my list, in no particular order, of 10 GREAT theme songs. I can think of more but 10 is a nice number. What did I miss that makes your top ten.

1. Cheers
2. Sanford and Son
3. Night Court
4. Barney Miller
5. All in the Family
6. Rockford Files
7. Andy Griffith
8. MASH
9. Hawaii Five-O
10. Seinfeld
